Universal Credit
(asked on 2nd November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what eligibility criteria are planned for each passported benefit for applicants for universal credit.
This question was answered on 7th November 2017
The eligibility criteria, and the number of recipients and costs of passported benefits is a matter for the responsible department or the devolved administrations.
Where the passported benefit includes one of the legacy benefits, Universal Credit has been added to the eligibility criteria so that people who claim the new benefit can continue to qualify.
